[LI] Weird problem with X (I think due to xauth)

[Suresh Ramasubramanian <suresh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - I have redhat 6.1 PCQ with the infamous sis6215c card :-)  I can
configure X using the no_accel, no_bitblt etc flags.  However, X
forcibly
kills itself and does not die gracefully.  It says something about not
being able to remove a temp file.  

Then - every few days - the X crashes and I have to go back to
XConfigurator.  It looks like something to do with xauth and xdm (but I
need some help re this).  Also - following this - my termcap goes ape. 
I
have to force it back to VT100 (TERM=vt100 and export TERM)

Help please !!!

I removed the no_bitblt flag in the devices section and I got

              Did you read the manual?  Specifically, the parts
              that talk about XAUTH, XDM, and root logins?
